What can I do if I hit a deer on the highway but my insurer refused to help because I was not covered for comprehensive damages?
I was unaware this was a necessary coverage for financed vehicles. I was told by many insurance agents since that my insurance agent neglected to make sure I was properly insured. I was told for a financed vehicle this coverage should have been required by the insurance agency and the finance company. Neither did, or want to help. Now I’m stuck with no car, and still paying for the insurance and car payments. Is this worth taking to court, and should my insurance pay?

Your contract with your insurance company controls what is and what is not coverd. if ou do not have comprehensive insurance, it is not covered. You should read and be aware of your policy contract and its coverage. There is no court action that is viable if you were presented with a copy of the poicy and faiiled to read it or change it.
